How Sprints Work
Our sprint process is designed for speed and clarity. We move from initial discovery call to complete strategic roadmap delivery within 10 days.
1. Discovery Call
It starts with a free 30 minute sprint discovery call to understand your challenge, commercial goals and timeline. We determine if a sprint is the right solution and gather relevant materials to prepare diagnostic hypotheses.
The outcome: Confirmed sprint scope and scheduled intensive week aligned to your urgency.
2. 5 Day Sprint
We embed with your team for five full days. Day 1 establishes goals. Day 2 diagnoses performance. Day 3 designs strategy. Day 4 builds action plans. Day 5 delivers complete roadmap.
The outcome: A prioritised 90 day action plan with strategic clarity on positioning, channels and commercial priorities ready for immediate execution.
3. Post Sprint Support
Following sprint delivery, we provide two weeks of email and call support as your team begins execution. Many clients then engage ongoing fractional CMO support for sustained leadership.
The outcome: Your team executes with confidence, knowing they can access strategic guidance as questions arise during early implementation.
Built for High Pressure Environments
Effective sprint leadership requires more than just marketing skills. It demands deep experience making strategic decisions at speed under high stakes conditions.
A generic marketing consultant cannot deliver the same value as someone who's launched global properties on aggressive timelines. Our 15 years of experience is focused entirely on high pressure strategic environments. Unlike consultants serving multiple industries, our entire career has been building sports and entertainment properties where there's no room for error.
This specialisation means we diagnose fast, prioritise ruthlessly and build plans that actually get executed.
We bring specialist knowledge of:
Agile sprint methodology - Compressing strategic thinking into focused intensive periods that create unstoppable momentum
Rapid diagnostic techniques - Quickly identifying growth blockers and revenue opportunities without lengthy discovery phases
Launch strategy under pressure - Taking properties from concept to market with aggressive timelines and limited budgets
Performance turnaround planning - Diagnosing underperforming marketing and building focused plans that drive immediate improvement
GTM strategy development - Designing complete go to market strategies for new products, markets and customer segments at speed
High pressure environments - 15 years making critical marketing decisions for properties worth hundreds of millions across Formula E, SailGP, E1 Series and T100
Our experience helps you move from uncertainty to clarity when speed matters most.
FAQs
-
Absolutely. The constraint forces ruthless prioritisation and focused thinking. We leverage 15 years of experience to rapidly diagnose your situation and identify highest impact opportunities. Most strategies fail not because they lack detail, but because they're overcomplicated and never get executed. Our sprints deliver exactly what you need to take decisive action.
-
The sprint is intense by design. We compress strategic thinking into focused sessions that demand engagement. However, we structure work to be challenging but sustainable. Your team won't spend five days in back to back meetings. We balance collaboration with independent work. The intensity creates momentum, not burnout.
-
You own everything. The diagnostic, strategy, roadmap and 90 day action plan are yours to execute. Your team has complete clarity on priorities and next steps. Many clients choose ongoing fractional CMO support after the sprint for continued strategic leadership during execution. Others take the plan and run internally. Both work.
-
Minimal. We send a brief questionnaire and request access to relevant marketing data and performance reports. The goal is to hit the ground running on day one. Most preparation happens on our side. We research your competitive landscape and come into the sprint with informed hypotheses ready to validate.
-
We can deliver effective sprints both ways. In person sprints create maximum focus and momentum through dedicated workspace and continuous collaboration. Remote sprints work well for geographically distributed teams and offer scheduling flexibility. We recommend in person when possible for critical launches, but have delivered excellent results remotely when circumstances require it.
-
We can typically begin your sprint within one to two weeks from our initial discovery call. We offer fast start options for projects with urgent deadlines. If you have a critical launch or decision point approaching, we prioritise sprint scheduling to meet your timeline.
-
Yes. While our deepest expertise is in sports, events and entertainment, the sprint methodology applies across industries. We've delivered effective sprints for technology platforms, consumer brands and B2B businesses facing urgent strategic challenges. The key is whether you value speed, executive level thinking and actionable outputs over lengthy traditional consulting processes.
-
Some complex challenges benefit from extended engagement. We can structure multi week project engagements (typically 4 to 8 weeks) for comprehensive transformations. Alternatively, many clients complete an initial sprint then engage ongoing fractional CMO support for sustained strategic leadership. We recommend starting with the sprint to establish direction, then determining if extended support adds value.
